An A to Z of Me #16 - Possibilities

Today we learnt how to alter a photo, with sanding, scratching and adding watercolour paint. Had to commandeer my son's dinosaur paint box as I don't have any watercolours myself (wish I'd thought of that a few days ago!)

Used a photo of last year's Mother's Day roses, and scratched today's quote in it round the edge. Couldn't find any dots for my "I's" in my diecut letters bags so used red stickles instead, but didn't need to cut any letters out specially today. Used my Dylusions stencil down the sides and more stickles to accent.

I just scrolled through all your A to Z of Me days. You are doing amazing work! So beautiful! I am stuck at D but I have been saving the instructions so I can eventually catch up. Love everything you ahve done!

I altered photos a few years ago with bleach, scratching, and sanding. Someone gave me some photos and I thought they were REAL photos, not printed on a printer. As a result, I had a mess on my hands when I tried to alter them. Yours, on the other hand, is awesome. Real photos are a dying artform.
